3. Rezoning parcels 290271201BB0009 and 290271402C00009 to Rural Residential �— would be consistent with their previous zoning classification of Rural Residential with the same minimum lot size and lot width requirements. 4. The Rural Residential zone is compatible with the Agriculture, Forest Management, Transitional Residential, and Recreation Zones. 5. Rezoning parcel 290271100E00009 to Forest Management would be consistent with the property's previous zoning designation of Forestry, which contained the same lot size and dimension requirements. 6. Rezoning parcel 290271100E00009 to Forest Management would be compatible with the surrounding zoning classification, which is proposed to be Forest Management. 7. Rezoning parcel 290271100E00009 to Forest Management would not be entirely consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, which states that the Forest Preservation areas would be very large lot residential (40-80 acres) within forested land. This parcel is only 5 acres in size and may be better suited in the Rural Residential zoning classification. 8. Parcel 290271100E00009 does not meet the minimum lot size of 10 acres for the Forest Management zone, being roughly 5 acres in size. The property, however, was a non-conforming property due to lot size under the previous zoning classification of Forestry.

The parcel also �.- meets the minimum lot width of 200 feet,being over 400 feet wide. 10. Parcel 290271201BB0009 does not meet the minimum lot size of 5 acres for the Rural Residential district as it is roughly half an acre in size. This lot would be considered non-conforming under the new Ordinance, but it was also considered non-conforming due to lot size under the old Ordinance. 11.
